In returning a verdict of accidental death the

plants in the Colony should be brought within the scope
No of the provisions of the Factories and Workshops Ordinance,
(Ordinance No. 18 of 1937), to ensure adequate Government

I am in agreement with the principle of this
recommendation but have difficulty in deciding how to put
it into practice owing to the fact that there is not
available in Hong Kong any literature on the subject to
serve as a model for draft regulations and that none of
the technical officers of this Government is experienced
in the supervision of refrigerating plants. I should be
grateful, therefore, if I might be supplied with copies
of any legislation on the lines of factory legislation
dealing with this subject which may have been enacted in
the United Kingdom or in the Colonial dependencies and
also with any recommendations which may have been made by
the International Labour Office at Geneva.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
"And wrthurth
Governor.
